An analysis of Costa Rican export earnings under the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (CBERA)

Creator:: Murillo-Martinez, Carlos G.
Abstract:: This Thesis explores the possibility of increased export and export earnings stability for Costa Rica after the implementation of the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (CBERA) or Caribbean Basin Initiative (CBI). It was expected that this policy would not only increase trade and exports for some developing nations in the...

Analysis of domain decomposition methods for the simulation of charge transport in semiconductor structures with heterojunctions

Creator:: Costa, Timothy B.
Abstract:: Charge transport in a semiconductor structure with heterojunction is described by a multiscale partial differential equation model. This model can be used, e.g., for the design of more efficient solar cells. Phenomena at the heterojunction must be resolved at the angstrom scale while the size of the device is that...

An automated web crawl methodology to analyze the online privacy landscape

Creator:: Sarkar, Chandan
Abstract:: Protecting end-users privacy and building trust are the two most important factors needed to support the growth of ecommerce. The increased dependence on the Internet for a wide variety of daily transactions causes a corresponding loss in privacy for many users, as virtually all websites collect data from users directly...

Studies on resistance of rice to Sogatodes oryzicola (Muir) and a parasitoid, Haplogonatopus sp., in Costa Rica

Creator:: Alvarez B., Francisco
Abstract:: Twenty-one rice cultivars were evaluated to determine the difference between populations of Sogatodes oryzicola (Muir) (Homoptera: Delphacidae) in Costa Rica and Colombia, Survival, mortality and population development of S. oryzicola on five selected cultivars was used to determine levels of plant resistance. The importance and potential of the parasitoid-predator Haplogonatopus...

Effect of organic fertilizers on survival, growth, chlorophyll and NDVI of Aniba rosaeodora Ducke plants in the Peruvian Amazon

Creator:: Vasquez Amasifuen, Cesar Paul
Abstract:: Aniba rosaeodora commonly known as rosewood is a tree species of great socio-economic value in the Amazon because it is harvested for the extraction of its essential oil, which is used in the production of cosmetics. Since rosewood is a wild species included on the Convention on International Trade in...

Modelling Early-Seral Vegetation Dynamics Using Climate and Soil Moisture

Creator:: Guevara, Claudio A.
Abstract:: Forest plantations in the Pacific Northwest are highly productive and have been intensively managed to maximize tree growth with practices such as Forest Vegetation Management (FVM). Different FVM regimes have been shown to enhance forest establishment by reducing the competition between the planted seedlings and early-seral vegetation. To better understand...

Water Use and Competitiveness of Senecio sylvaticus in Young Pseudotsuga menziesii Plantations in Western Oregon

Creator:: Cowden, Reed J.
Abstract:: Competition for soil water resources between newly planted Douglas-fir seedlings and aggressive early-seral plants, such as Senecio sylvaticus [L.] (Woodland groundsel, Senecio), can create drought conditions that impact tree seedling physiology, growth and likelihood of mortality. However, the specific impact of Senecio on soil moisture dynamics and inducement of water...

An evaluation of the resources of the Mosquitia Region of Honduras by means of Remote Sensing and GIS

Creator:: Torres, Juan Carlos
Abstract:: The Mosquitia Region of Honduras is part of the largest wilderness area in Central America. In terms of biodiversity the area is rich in ecosystems including pine savannas, tropical rain forests, and wetlands. These ecosystems are rich in millions of species including rare and endangered. Honduras faces an economic, social,...

Theoretical perspectives on Latin American indigenous development, with reference to a case study of Cebadas, Ecuador

Creator:: Ocana, Juan Carlos
Abstract:: This thesis presents a discussion of the main materialistic theories proposed to explain the process of development among the indigenous population of Latin America. Four theoretical approaches are presented and discussed. The first one deals with the social group referred to as peasants. The second one explains the process of...

Spatial and temporal variability of carbon dynamics in a tropical forest of Colombia

Creator:: Sierra, Carlos Alberto
Abstract:: Despite the importance of tropical forest ecosystems in the global carbon cycle, there have been few studies of carbon dynamics in this biome. The magnitude of carbon stocks in the tropics and their changes over time are poorly known since ground-based observations are lacking. In this study, total carbon stocks...
